Book Overview

2024 ASJA Book Award for Memoir/Autobiography

In this "hilarious and heartbreaking...must-read memoir" (Publishers Weekly), Christopher Zara breaks down his winding journey from dropout to journalist and the impact that his background had in the world of privilege.

Boldly honest, wryly funny, and utterly open-hearted, Uneducated is one diploma-less journalist's map of our growing educational divide...

An Education for the Schooled

My father always said not to confuse education and schooling. Zara may not be well-schooled, but he's incredibly well-educated--by the life he lived, the challenges he overcame, the heart he nurtured, the issues he still lives with. This is a memoir for us all, not just because Zara's life (and the lives of those around him) educate the schooled on what we don't know and need to grow compassion for, but because it's a rich, important life through which Zara offers his own well-homed point of view, incredible vignettes, insights and empathy... along with a number of valuable lessons. He's funny and smart, too.
